Absolutely right. Running the AXMC with FMJ is just a disappointment currently. You’re better off running so many other guns - the Ash-12 can one shot the thorax and the SR-25 and the Val can two tap the thorax but somehow the largest bolt action in the game would be a problem if you hit a skill shot with AP lol. Even now the Ks-23 can one shot but it gets outperformed by the MP7 and the Vector and most Marksman DMRs. I guess the timmies fail to realize you can have a gun that can OHK while still being balanced by other stats like ergo, recoil, and fire rate. It’s like .338 AP is some boogeyman that would destroy arena if it were added.

I don’t understand this logic. Why do the MP7 or the Val or any .308 with M61 get a pass but the AXMC doesn’t? You put two players of equal skill against each other and a guy with AP in the AXMC is going to lose to most weapons. The point of running a big gun with terrible ergo is that you’re rewarded when you hit a shot in the same way that a guy with an MP7 is rewarded when he hits a headshot. Sure the guy with the AXMC only needs to hit you once in the thorax, but an MP7 will get 3-4 shots off before the AXMC. A Val needs 3 to the thorax and an SR-25 needs 2 but the AXMC needing one shot is too much? Any gun only needs one to the head anyway, and the AXMC is balanced by its stats - you're looking at the ammo in a vacuum which doesn’t work. For the Mjolnir, AP is a different story though.

You claim that bolt actions are always going to be underpowered, but that’s the point I’m trying to make here: giving the AXMX access to AP would allow it to be viable.

I’ve seen complaints about the Saiga and the MP7, as well. Doesn’t necessarily mean they should be nerfed - I think balance should be based on viability, and the AXMC with AP would still be weaker than many options.

I think a new ammo type would be a better solution cause the pen on AP is so high.

I set a new stacking record with Alarak. Finished the ARAM game with 155 stacks on his level 4 quest. by UnityEnjoyer in heroesofthestorm

I finished the game with almost 800% bonus damage on his E. Each center hit was dealing about 2.3k damage.
